Conclusions

Comparison between the role of women in ancient Athens and the role of women in the East of Antioquia(Marinilla, Rionegro, La Ceja y El Carmen de Viboral).

After having clarified the concept of family and the role of women between Ancient Athens and East of Antioquia (Colombia), we have the resources to make a comparison between them.

Ancient Athens

East of Antioquia 2015

The marriage was arranged by the woman's father Women were not considered as citizens women did not have the right to vote women could not go to school or university women could not work in order to support the family economy Women did the chores and took care of her children. Women could not have social life Women got married when they were teenagers The husband inherited the  wife’s goods

The marriage is a free decision of the woman Women are considered as citizens Women have the right to vote Women can go to school or university Women can work in order to support the family economy Women do the chores, take care of their children, but also, they have the opportunities to do other things freely Women have social life, they can go with male friends to parties or meetings Most of women get married when they are adults During the marriage, the goods still belong to the wife, unless the wife decides otherwise

Since Ancient Athens until today in the East of Antioquia, there has been a progress in the role of women. There have been transformations, both in the family and in the social field.In the family field there has not been a change in the concept of family but there has been a change in the role of women as a daughter, wife and mother. At present, in the 2015, the women have more autonomy because now they are supported by the law in order to implement actions more freely. In the social field, there has been a huge change. Today, the women can go to an university or school and access to public offices.These days, women have more economic independence, which contributes to the family economy, as is evident in the survey.There is another important aspect and is the fact that now, the marriage is not an economic arrangement, but rather an issue of love, a life shared and the decision-making as a couple to build a future.

Finally, with the realization of this project, we learned that the amenities women enjoy today, did not exist before, and that  has been a constant and arduous fight.

We also learned that despite all the difficulties and oppressions suffered by the women thousands of years before, this has helped the women to gain strength and fight for their freedom.This has been proven since antiquity because women have taken a decisive role in the family and social field. Although they are very few. they have always been revolutionary women who fight for the rights and make a difference. Now,  our commitment is to continue the transformation of the role of women, so that in a few years if anyone would want to do the same project as we did, could find many advances and changes in the role of women.
